Carlisle hold the Key

[Darren]

Hudds losing today makes it interesting.
They play their game in hand on tuesday at Leyton Orient win that and they are 3 back of wendy.
Beat wendy and they go into third on GD.
If Hudds blow it at LO they will be out for revenge against wendy and Hudds have only lost twice at home.

It's interesting as what we should be looking for from Hudds' next two games. If they win both (and assuming we beat Bournemouth), with 5 games to go the table would be:

2. United 82
3. Hudds 77
4. Wed 77.

Some might say that a draw or defeat v Orient and a win v Wednesday would be better for us, in which case (assuming a draw v Orient) the table would be:

2. United 82
3. Wed 77
4. Hudds 75

I think we should be rooting for them to win at Orient. If they don't, then that pretty much ends their chance of automatic and they would probably be going into the game v Wed having resigned themselves to the play offs and thus concentrating on not getting injuries etc. If Hudds did wn both of their next two games (and again assuming we beat Bournemouth), we would be going into the last 5 games with a 5 point gap over both of our two main rivals, which you would think would make a fuck up very difficult.

Good point about Hudds, they will prob concentrate on no injuries if they cant catch us by then.

i know its a cliche, but we just have to concentrate on ourselves. we should win the next 3 games, making us very hard to keep up with. i just cant see us getting caught by Weds or Hudds.

Yes we all know that we should take care of ourselves, but this thread is about the teams around us.

Personally I think Hudds draw or loss would set the game up perfect against wednesday

Carlisle are playing their part well

I'd rather they drew at orient, then beat Wednesday. Jocks them pretty much out of the race for Auto, and gives us the opportunity to go 5 points clear.

Having said that, even if hey win at orient, the best they can be is 2 back of us, and well have a game in hand.

Either way, as things stand, I would not want to be playing Carlisle in the playoffs...
